In June 1962, photographer Bert Stern shot a series of photos of Marilyn Monroe at the Hotel Bel-Air that have collectively come to be known as “The Last Sitting.” Taken over 3 days of which 'Baby on the bed' was taken on the last day. These images are arguably the most famous images ever captured of America’s most famous actress. The photos endure partly as artifacts—as the last visible evidence of the living woman (a legacy reinforced by Stern’s decision to publish the contact sheets Monroe herself had crossed out in marker). But the pictures are also remarkable for the raw truths they seem to reveal. In them, we see an actress whose comedic talents were overshadowed by her sex appeal, and a woman who is cannily aware of her pinup status. In many shots.Stern excavated and preserved the poignant humanity of the real woman—beautiful, but also fragile, needy, flawed—from the monumental sex symbol. In our armoured, airbrushed age, his achievement feels almost revolutionary. Condition: Fine/Museum quality.
